In the face of massive AI change, Washington's instinct seems to be to gather more information to make decisions. This won't work. Instead of squirreling away information in the hopes of using it later, we should be building the tools to make decisions quickly as it arises🧵

Congress didn't pass a perfect aviation law in 1926. They passed one good enough for 1926 and fixed it later. That's the goal for AI governance in 2026: good enough, and capable of correcting itself.

@HughWil16634342 I was specifically thinking of direct election of senators and the rise of popular referendums both of which are more democratic (rather than republican)

@michaeljaydepp Be specific in how we are relevantly “MUCH” more democratic now. At our founding, property requirements were already not enforced (see Lepore), and they were quickly done away with by the 20th century. Consider Jackson’s election

AI often gets compared to the Industrial Revolution in the "short term disruption, long term benefit" sense, but the US is MUCH more democratic now Modern voters can regulate technology to a standstill in the way that weavers put out of work by mechanical looms couldn't
David Shor@davidshor

The "everything will be fine" message is dead on arrival with voters. When leaders in government and tech say "AI will not cause widespread job losses" - net trust is -41. When they say "AI will create economic productivity that benefits everyone" - net trust is -20.

dune 3 is only the "epic conclusion" because they're too scared to make a movie that's just two straight hours of a sandworm arguing with jason momoa

If your friends aren't talking about: • Crossing the Rubicon • Gracchi land reforms • Blues vs. Greens • Varus' lost legions • How Germanicus was taken too soon • Diocletian's cabbages • Circumvallation/Contravallation • Urine taxation It's time to find new friends.

"$50k submarine" letting morons find out about munitions cost may have been the biggest tactical error of this war so far. so many stupid fucking takes

@Nexuist If only we had Navy/Marine Corps Special Operations units specifically trained to do this sort of thing so we don’t kill a $50k submarine with a $5m missile

@EvanFeigenbaum These Risk players think they know everything but what we really need is policy informed by playing Diplomacy We need to have the navy use the support action on the tankers so the Iranian attack bounces and the tankers' movement succeeds
